    Off-Topic GMC Hummer EV

    Well, I got to drive an Electre R today. It's a little small for my tastes but really nice! Fit and finish is great. "R" model is very fast, but expensive. Deliveries will start in "fall of 2024" as a 2025 model year. Software is good and HUD is nice.

    How Long Do You Plan To Hold On To Your Lucid Air?

    I will keep mine until the warranty runs out and then probably sell it for whatever I can get and not buy another EV unless there have been significant advances in battery technology. It's been fun to drive a very fast EV but I have decided that I will keep an ICE car/SUV for traveling, for now.

    The electric car everyone needs.

    Will it fit in the back of a Gravity with the seats folded down? :cool:

    Massive insurance premium increase

    "Insurers want to pay the "prevailing community rates" for shop labor. However, most of the repair shop chains and franchises whose labor rates go into the insurers' databases will not invest in the equipment and training it takes to work on a Lucid. Consequently, Lucid's authorized shops are...

    Massive insurance premium increase

    I am having the same issue with State Farm. They want to pay about half of the cost to repair from the only authorized body shop in Houston.

    RESOLVED Android Auto Thursday

    My "speculation" is that Lucid is putting the majority of their software development resources into the Gravity, so that they don't repeat the software fiasco of v1.04, and our cars will not get much attention until Gravity ships.

    Lotus has unveiled an ultra-fast 450kW charger

    I have an Eletre R reservation but it looks like the final price, with options, will be close to $180K and I am not sure if it's worth that.

    RESOLVED Android Auto Thursday

    It's a Jeep on steroids and I am not a Jeep fan.

    Hummer EV: Look on the bright side

    I am spoiled by the Navigator. It is just a great vehicle for me but I do love EVs so, I'm not sure what I want to do. One of our boys wants to see the Hummer and I might give it to him or sell it. The good news is that they are holding their value, for the moment.

    Off-Topic GMC Hummer EV

    From another post: The jury is still out. The Good: Tech is great. I really like Super Cruise. Android Auto works very well although GM is abandoning it and CarPlay. It's fast for such a big vehicle and handles well. The Bad: Terribly inefficient, 1.4-1.6mi/kWh, but that was expected. Tall...

    They usually come down to about $5/mo. for a year, when you want to quit.

    RESOLVED Android Auto Thursday

    I picked up my Hummer EV SUV yesterday and Android Auto is fully integrated into the GM infotainment system. Once I paired my phone everything just worked, maps, calls, music and messages. Navigation shows up on all screens. I hope that Lucid does as good a job!
